The national Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance has invited Michigan State University College of Education Dean Donald Heller to present a seminar on “The Role of Finances in Postsecondary Access and Success.”  The program is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon May 2, 2012 in 252 Erickson Hall.

This seminar is part of a larger series organized by the committee, which advises Congress and the Secretary of Education on financial aid policy. The goal of each seminar is to highlight recent research or policy issues related to five areas of the access and success spectrum: early information and awareness, college preparation and readiness, access and choice, transfer and persistence, and success and completion.

The proceedings of the seminars will be used to prepare a primer on access and success for federal policymakers.

To attend, RSVPs must be received by April 25, 2012. Click here to register.
